I've never seen the U-Trip rules. What is an "Offense Ejection"? Does that mean that the guy who hits a home run is ejected, and when his spot comes up there's an automatic out? Seems pretty harsh.

As the term indicates, it's only on "offense". The "ejected" player is still allowed to play defense.

No, it is not a harsh rule. If you are in a division that limits HRs, thats the rule. If you don't like the rule, play at a level where hitting HRs will not hurt you.

Over the past three or four years, ASA has come dangerously close to initiating similar penalties for excess HRs. For one year, the second HR of the game was an ejection at the D level. Inning-ending HRs have come more into focus lately. That, too, is already done by some assns.

Personally I like the rule that limits the amount of doubles a player can get. I think it's in the G level. If a player hits more than 1 double in a game he's not allowed to hit more than a single after that and he's also not allowed to score - he must stop at 3rd!

How in the heck do you guys keep all the slow pitch crap sorted out in your head? That would drive me nuts!
